Death Comes for the Archbishop is Willa Cather's sensitive, semihistorical novel recounting the life of Father Jean LaTour, the Catholic Bishop charged with the vast western diocese of New Mexico. Told with reverence for the West itself, as well as genuine veneration for the New World and its original inhabitants alike, Cather's tale glows like a desert sunset.

It's a teen and older read, not so much for its two or three earthy sentences, but more because young children may simply find much of it dull.
